After speaking to my therapist on Saturday about my jealousy issues, one thing she made me understand is that some of my issues could be jealousy, but some could be genuine concern with an inappropriate situation. She said when I am facing a situation that makes me feel "jealous" to step back and observe it from an "outsider's" point of view. For example, SD8 stroking FH's chest hair while sitting on his lap on the couch...if I were a neighbor or a family friend, would I feel uncomfortable seeing this?
Well, we just had the first of our 2 week summer visits with SD. We had a blast - bought sd a new bike (with helmet and elbow/knee pad) taught her how to ride it, did a couple of pool outings, beach outing, arcade, etc. It was a fun time. DH took sd to a Father Daughter dance - so we purchased her a new dress and did her hair and nails.
BM had told me not to comb or wash her hair for the 2 weeks as i may mess it up or use something to break her out.

Hey All...Remember me? Been a while. Got a call from a stepmom friend today, and thought I would just pop in to say hi to all of ya.
For those newbies who aren't familiar with me, I am a Step Mom Survior. YIP Believe That, we do survive. It took me all of 16 1/2 years but through the strength of GOD, hubby, and this site, I survived. I survived the constant battle of superior manipulations, constant interefernce of the BM and the DH's families misperceptions. I even survived the knock-down drag-out violent tendencies of the SD.
The day has finally come...this week DH goes to court to take a significant reduction in CS due to sk turning 18...YAAhhoOOoOO!!! That significant dollar amount will be coming into our household not BM. Ive waited a very long long time for this one!!!! Any kind words for this SM???
Well I hate to say it but I was right, LOL, My DHs lawyer told him the only reason BM gets son when there is no school is because the court knew she worked at a school and could be home with her son, but the order is not for her to get him in the summer to take him to yet another daycare person he does not know.
My husband and I got a call yesterday from BM's boyfriends exwife. She was calling to let us know that he was afraid for the kids safety because BM's boyfriend had once been accused of "touching his daughter innapropriately". She told us that the child was tested several time and was found to have been sexually abused and another party "caught" him abusing her but he took a lie detector test and passed (he is also a police officer). You can probably imagine how worried we are as we have two small daughters who spend 50% of their time in his house! Any advice?
For those who follow my story, you know the deal. You know the financial nightmares H hid from me when we married. You know the inappropriate behaviour between H & SD18.
In May, things were really bad. Really really bad. H's garnishment is killing us financially, yet he spent spent spent on SD18. He promised me that once May was over, if I'd just get thru that month with him ( as it was devoted-the entire month and tons of money-to SD18 by H) things would change. SD18 would be out of school and 18, and things would get better.
